I noticed the erased/deleted entries of the Afghan Chilean, Indian Chilean and Pakistani Chilean articles from the category template. Asian Chileans aren't mentioned at all, despite the presence of east Asians in the country (i.e. there was recent Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese immigration). Has the articles failed to meet Wikipedia policy? They were indeed short in the length of paragraphs, but offered some informative resources to back them. + 71.102.2.206 (talk) 16:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All three of those

Article: Indians in Chile does exist, with the proper criteria and sources provided to be kept as is. 71.102.30.215 (talk) 01:54, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It has one proper source, one news report about the earthquake, and one link to a self-published piece hosted on a dead server, which I have removed as failing

WP:RS. In any case please stop filling it with unsourced statements and neologisms like "Indian Chilean" or "Pakistani Chilean". cab (call) 03:39, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply

The Palestinian Chileans are so many that when spaeking about Arab-Chileans 90% of them must be Palestinians, and therefore should Palestinian-Chilean have their own article. when enought information is gathered about Syrian Chileans and other Arab-Chilean groups they should get their own article. To identify people as Arab-Chilean and British-Chilean seems to be a wikipedia invention. Dentren | ^Talk 11:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I finally figured out what happened ... there was once a

Arab Chilean because it was completely unsourced, and they also removed all mention of Palestinians whatsoever from Immigration to Chile. Since I've found some sources on the topic, I'll start up (unredirect) the separate Palestinian article once again. But I don't think that "Palestinian Chilean" is a good title --- there's no one using this title besides Wikipedia. "Palestinians in Chile" might be more appropriate. cab (talk) 14:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply

Is there much of a Lebanese population? I know there is in Argentina and Brazil, but not sure about Chile.--MacRusgail (talk) 16:51, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I dont have sources yet, but I would guess that libanese are the 2 or 3 largest Arab community in Chile after the Palestinians and perhaps also Syrians. Yet, Brazil and Argentina have much larger libanese and syrian communities but Chile have more Palestinians.Dentren | ^Talk 17:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Chile#Polish_immigration Poles The Polish community is thriving in Chile, including recent arrived trade workers in the then booming construction and service industries in the 1990's and early 2000's. The total number of Polish-Chileans may exceed 20,000 now, but it's not found on official demographic surveys in the Chilean Census 2010, unless many are returning to Poland by the recession and recent earthquakes (March 2010). Not only anti-Communism motivates Polish inspirations but the Chilean political structure appeals to ethnic Poles, so has the return of democracy in Chile at the same year (1989).

Also worth mentioning the
